Cannot change Critical Battery level- stuck at 98%

I've searched google and several forums, but can't seem to find this particular problem posted anywhere.

I've got my desktop plugged into an APC Backups 550 ES.  I had a power dip the other day and my computer immediately went into hibernate mode.  Normally, I get 5-10 minutes before that happens.  After waking the machine up, I checked the advanced power settings.  Low Battery level was set to 99% with an action of 'Do Nothing'  Critical Battery level was set to 98% with an action of 'Hibernate' (these are the 'On Battery' settings) .  These are normally a low number like 5-10%.

I can change the value of the Low Battery setting, but not the critical battery setting.  I put in a new value, but it is immediately changed back to 98% when I hit apply.

Has anyone else seen or heard of this issue?  I've tried creating a custom power profile, but get the same problem.  No new hardware has been added and this feature was fine on Vista x64. 

Here's some specs:

Windows 7 x64 RC build 7100 (clean install)
Intel E8200
4 GB ram

Thanks
